Mag Lena
Mag Lena, Mag Léna, or Mag Léne (anglicised Moylena or Moylen) was the name of a plain or heath in the Gaelic Irish territory of Firceall, between modern Tullamore and Durrow in County Offaly. Mag Lena straddled the Esker Riada, was near the border between Mide and Laigin (Leinster), and is mentioned in Irish manuscripts as the site of several legendary, pseudohistorical, and historical events. The civil parish of Kilbride in Ballycowan was "Kilbride al[ias] Moylena" in the time of Charles I. According to John O'Donovan, the name Moleany was still being used in 1837 for the corresponding Catholic parish (formally Kilbride or Tullamore, and united to Durrow, in the Diocese of Meath). By then the area was agricultural rather than heathland.
